Tourism has major economic and social significance to most modern economies and has become an essential aspect of contemporary life, changing the way the world looks and works. The tourism and hospitality track aims to provide a forum for international educators, scholars, researchers, industry professionals, policy-makers and graduate students to evaluate emerging paradigms and discuss pioneering practices within the broader tourism and hospitality field. We are seeking conceptual and/or empirical-based papers that seek address the changing nature of the tourism and hospitality industries. This track will thus attempt to foster progressive approaches within tourism and hospitality studies, rather than to simply reproduce well-rehearsed empirical models and conceptual applications. The overall aim of this track is to present a new agenda for future research and theoretical exposition.
